Ohio goat named ‘Big Boy’ breaks into home, found napping in bathroom
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}An Ohio teenager came home from school on Friday to find a sliding glass door shattered, a vile stench in the air and a “bah”-zarre guest napping on the bathroom floor: a giant billy goat named “Big Boy.”
Logan Keathley, 18, first noticed something was out of the ordinary when he found the family’s German shepherd upset in the driveway, the Ashland Times-Gazette reported. He then walked over the broken glass to discover a goat had rammed its way into the home in Ashland County’s Sullivan Township.

The 18-year-old immediately called his mom, Jennifer, who said the break-in was “the most random story in the world.”
"There're all these awful stories in the world, people need this," she told The AP.

Jennifer left a message on a Facebook community page about the missing goat and got in touch with the owner, Andrew Watkins, the paper reported. Big Boy was safely returned to the farm.
“He’s never done anything like that before,” Watkins told the Times-Gazette. “I think he was drinking too much that night. I’m really sorry it happened but there wasn’t much I could do. I wasn’t there.”

While the Keathley’s finally managed to rid their home of the horned intruder, the stench of Big Boy’s urine still lingered no matter how many times they applied carpet deodorant and urine neutralizer.
“My house definitely smells like a goat farm,” Jennifer told the paper. “But there’s nothing you can do but laugh.”
